How the documented system works
The green bias-T indicator should be on. Confirm 12–14 VDC power, firmly hand-tightened loop flanges, secure coax connections, and cables without cuts, exposed shield, or loose connectors.
The boundary that prevents mistakes
Do not transmit for testing, insert a meter in the powered coax, or replace several parts at once. The product is discontinued, so preserve original hardware and document symptoms before seeking service options.
Use this field sequence
Power down, inspect and reseat the loop, test the supply and cables, restore the direct bias-T path, power up for receive-only testing, and contact Chameleon Support with the exact failure and checks completed.
